Twenty Years of Scholarship:
The Henry Luce/ACLS Dissertation
Fellowships in American Art
2013 Annual Meeting of the College Art Association
Friday, February 15, 12:30 PM
Bryant Suite, 2nd Floor
Hilton New York
How has scholarship on American art changed in the past 20 years?
What has been the experience of the generations of scholars coming of
age in that same period? Since 1992, the Henry Luce Foundation and
the American Council of Learned Societies have awarded 227 Dissertation Fellowships in American Art. These fellowships fund graduate
students in any stage of Ph.D. dissertation research or writing for scholarship on a topic in the history of the visual arts of the United States.
Celebrating 20 years of supporting young scholars, this session brings
together four past fellows with diverse interests within American art
and from different stages of the academic career to discuss how their
research has evolved.
Panelists

as exhibition catalogs published by the Blanton Museum of Art and
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Last year, he was a Senior
Fellow at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, working on a new
book-in-progress titled Gun Vision: The Ballistic Imagination in American
Art.
Claire de Dobay Rifelj
2011 Fellow and Doctoral Candidate, Institute of Fine Arts,
New York University
Claire de Dobay Rifelj is a PhD candidate at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts
whose dissertation explores narrative tendencies in collage and assemblage from Southern California in the 1970s and ‘80s. Based in LA, Ms.

she has worked on modern and contemporary projects, including the
Getty Museum’s citywide Pacific Standard Time exhibition initiative that

curatorial assistant at UCLA’s Hammer Museum where she helped
organize the Hammer Projects series for emerging artists and assisted
on numerous contemporary art exhibitions. She has recently published

Hayes P. Mauro
2005 Fellow and Assistant Professor, Queensborough Community College
Hayes P. Mauro received his PhD from the Program in Art History at the
CUNY Graduate Center in 2007. The Luce/ACLS Dissertation Fellowship supported travel and research and as well as the timely completion of
his dissertation, since expanded and published as The Art of Americanization at the Carlisle Indian School (University of New Mexico Press, 2011).
Professor Mauro credits a good portion of this success to ACLS. Since completing the book, he has worked on a couple of book reviews for
caa.reviews and the Winterthur Portfolio and curated the student art exhibition at Queensborough Community College. His recent research interests
relate to the concepts of millenialism and masculinity in American visual
culture as well as the impact of mediated globalization on representation
more broadly.

exhibitions such as the America’s Society retrospective of Antonio
Manuel, “I Want to Act! Not Represent!” (2011) and the 2013 survey of
Gutai art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. She is a professor of
modern and contemporary art at Sarah Lawrence College, in Bronxville,

practices of responsible, effective philanthropy.
